The Borough of Broxbourne Council is asking people in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, to nominate their local heroes for the 2026 Best of Broxbourne (BOB) Awards. These annual awards recognise the work of volunteers, community groups and businesses that have made a difference in the area over the past 12 months.
Residents have until midnight on 31 January 2026 to submit nominations for people who have gone above and beyond to help others. This could include those who work with the elderly, care for the environment, or lead local youth groups.
Mayor Patsy Spears said the awards are a way to highlight individuals and groups who have made a special contribution to the borough. Winners will be celebrated at a ceremony at The Spotlight in Hoddesdon in March 2026 (exact date TBC).
Past winners include Nicole Jones, who won the Dame Marion Roe Award in 2022 for her long-standing service with St John Ambulance. People can nominate neighbours or local organisations through the council’s BOB Awards page or by collecting a paper form at council offices and libraries.
